Odd as it may be it is actually true that other people are using alternatives and passing. When I went to varsity I used the core reading and only got aware of acted stuff abt 2 years ago though I went to varsity first year 12 years ago doing an actuarial degree.
I am converted to the merits of acted and now use it. That doesn't mean I intend to use it religiously all the time. Neither does it mean that there is no benefit in going down the route you propose CapitalH. I think the whole system of actuarial education should be student friendly rather than just access to notes. I see making acted compulsory making the system as a whole unfriendly (especially to those without deep enough pockets) though it will make it easier for these electronic notes.
